Deltopia is a Wikipedia user and, sometimes, an editor. He has a wife, a daughter, a nice apartment, a job, and a dog.
What am I doing and why am I screwing up your pages?!?! Sorry about that. I'm actually still kind of a newb, and I'm trying to get the hang of this bold editing thing. Forgive me if I screwed up your article/discussion/forum/whatever. And thank God for reverts, huh?
Lately, I'm doing copyediting on Random articles (which is fun -- click random article, click edit, and go through and clear up any punctuation or spelling errors; quick and easy, because if you get too big an article, you click the random button again) and occasionally throwing in $.02 into the debates on articles for deletion. And learning other stuff. There's a lot of other stuff to learn.

Tip of the moment...
Fixing bare URLs to prevent link rot
Bare URLs used as article references (citations) are subject to link rot. The usability of a bare URL depends entirely on the target WWW site retaining its chosen site structure, which it is under no obligation to do. A full citation, in contrast, gives the author, title, publisher, publication, and date of the work. So, if the web site address changes, the additional information may assist in finding the new location. If the source is no longer available on the internet, then the additional information may assist in tracking down the source if it is in printed form, microfiche archives, article/paper collections, published as books, and the like. Fully dressed citations may be filled in manually, or there are semi-automated tools online, such as: reFILL (can be installed as a Toolbox link or as a Bookmarklet), or Yadkard. For Google Books, try the: Wikipedia Citation Tool for Google Books. – – To add this auto-randomizing template to your user page, use {{
